Current @Lady Amalthea, does that mean every post is a Horocrux?

Mali looked at the glass offered to her. For most people it would probably seem like far too much for any one person to handle, but given the amount of water she normally consumed on a daily basis, the heat of the day and the lack of hydration she'd been afforded so far, it was a tall glass of sweet relief.

"Thank you so much." She took the jar and drained a quarter of it immediately, not really caring what either of the siblings would think about it. She set down the jar and took a seat at the table, surveying the food before her: fried chicken, a mass of green stuff, some fried red things, cornbread and fried ball things. That's a solid 2/5. 40%. Good thing she wasn't being tested on what any of these were. Might as well just take a bit of everything and see how it all plays out. Talking about Danica could wait until after dinner.

"Either of you mind if I take a leg?" It was the best part of the bird, but there were only two (OOC: I'm assuming Zoie didn't fry up two whole chickens here) and there were three people here. Best be careful so as not to accidentally initiate a big squabble over a piece of chicken.
Lemme' Tell you something, folks! If you didn't already know, mortgages take a lot of paperwork... and a lot of money!!!

In other news, I am a little teapot, short at stout...


My best case scenario would be to save enough money to buy a house without having to deal with mortgages or other such annoyances.
Cyne & Nor

Location: Salarn & Crossed Swords Tavern
Interacting with:Sana, Ntaj & Sana


Cyne had remained a background element since Sana was treated at the temple. For the time being she didn't feel like she had a lot to contribute to any of the conversations. She'd been traveling with these people for the better part of a week now, but it felt as if everyone outside of a pre-established clique was kept at arm's length from one another. She supposed that she was contributing to that atmosphere by doing a lot of watching and waiting, and not a lot of doing, but that's how things were.

"I do need a couple of things, but I can go on my own time. No need to drag everyone else along with me," she replied to Sana's suggestion to go with Satilla & the others to restock. In her periphery, she spotted Ntaj leave the tavern looking more than a little off put. "As for joining you inside, perhaps in a moment or two, there's something I need to see to." With that said, she walked off behind Ntaj, catching up to him relatively quickly. She was a fast walker, and he seemed preoccupied with his thoughts.

<<What's bothering you, Ntaj?>>

"Yer that lass that big oaf was carrying around like a sack of cement? Surprised tae see you up and well in the state you were in. A am nae with yer group, but I did meet with a couple. Filled me in on the gist of the situation with this town. Just rolled into town meself. Nor, son of Gnor at yer service. Speaking of service ye look pretty awful, bluntly speaking. No offense by that by the way, wouldn't expect a lass coming off a week long flu tae look right and pretty. If'n yer interested, I could give ye a well grooming. Me's a barber by trade, but I can work a lassie's hair almost as well as I can a lad's. Bet ye clean up tae a real bonnie."

Any irritability that could be read on his face disappeared once Sana sat at the table. Had to look chipper and friendly while making a sales pitch. While it was true that he was going to do his best to wring this woman out of her cash, almost nothing he said was false. She did look like somebody who had let their personal grooming fall to the wayside after an extended bout of illness, which was a perfectly reasonable thing to do. And she did look like she could be really pretty with a bit of work here and there. If you were into human broads. As for being able to work with women's hair, it was probably true. He wouldn't be able to do anything particularly fancy, but the fundamentals of hair care were constant across races, he doubted the nature of hair would change dramatically across genders.
Working on the post. I am going to go ahead and say... I AM REALLY DAMN SORRY FOR THE GIF THAT IS BEING POSTED WITH IT!!!!


"I wonder what it's going to be? Just some really lame joke or something?"

Oh.

huh.
@The Grey Dust At first I thought that was going to be a limerick based on the formatting and I was going to compliment you for your dedication
Sorry for taking so long to update.

@Lady Amalthea "Ah," Flo remarked, as a corner of her mouth lifted just barely enough to be seen. "Then it appears we are at an understanding. I'm sure this job would not be an issue for a craftsman of your caliber." Florina stepped forward towards the counter, and one of her hands darted into a pocket that had been disguised by clever tailoring, when it emerged, the tips of her thumb and index finger were adorned with a veneer of black. She pressed the two digits together and then placed them directly onto the surface of the countertop. From there, she separated the fingers and revealed a stream of blue light that connected the previously connected phalanges. From there, she dragged her fingertips to the side, extending the stream into a rectangular holographic "screen."

On the screen was a sketch/blueprint of sorts that depicted a rapier. It appeared to be a normal rapier, and not even as ornate as some of the ones Sunie had seen in books or film. Silently, Flo swiped across the screen with her other hand which caused the screen to move onto the next slide, on that displayed the pommel detached from the hilt of the sword, and opened up hidden compartment in the weapon's handle. With one more swipe, she revealed a new slide that contained some specifications: the sword needed to be a meter long, the pommel had to be able to remain firm in the hilt of the sword despite being detachable, and the hidden compartment would need to be 1.5cm wide by 9cm long, the sword blade itself did not need to be sharp but would be a welcome addition. Florina gave Sunie enough time to read over everything and commit it to memory before she lifted her black-adorned fingers from the countertop, which caused the screen to disappear as well.

"I'll need this in about 10 to 14 days," she stated matter-of-factly. Afterwards she fell silent again to give Sunie the chance to reply.

@Nallore "Over my dead body." Leonard scowled and scooted his seat away from Anthony. "I don't think you'd be allowed into any of the meetings anyways. Authorized personnel only. And you're not even close to dressed well enough to get within 100 feet of any of the people I'm going to be meeting. A lot of snobs, you know." Leonard took another long, hard look into his coffee before he set it down with a sigh. He scooted his seat back in and leaned forward, speaking in a far more serious tone than he'd been using before.

"If you're really interested in helping me, there may be something you could do for me that I would really appreciate. You're under no obligation to do so."

@FantasyChic"Is that so?" the younger cop asked before turning to his partner. "I told you she wouldn't know an-"

"Thank you for your cooperation, ma'am," the older cop spoke up and cut off the complaint before he could finish. "We'll have to turn down that offer for a drink, but if you happen to come across something, feel free to come into contact with either of us. I'm Sargeant Roxas and my partner here is Ferguson. Just give the station a call, and if you ask for either of us, it should be easy to get ahold og at least one. Have a good day ma'am." With that, the two lawmen turned around and left the bar whilst talking quietly amongst themselves. When the door quietly shut, it was as if a veil had lifted from the room and what few patrons there were started to proceed as they had been before the police had even walked in. That being for the most part copious consumption of liquor.
Well Roger had his orders and he had no reason to disobey them. Wait for the Cruxi to converge in the center and then flank right to form a pincer. Simple enough, the issue right now was getting the bastards to actually converge so he could get into a flanking position in the first place. There was really only a single Cruxi squad blocking a way in from the right, but he couldn't get within range to attack them without barging right into the open, presumably to a very laser-filled death. On top of that, the whole "regenerating destroyed machines" thing that stubby asshole did only made things more bothersome.

For the time being it would probably be best to simply reposition. Roger positioned Yeager right by Eiswolf. Still just out of range, but he'd be able to easily move in and out of range of medium weapons, which would probably reduce the likelihood of being made an obvious target like Black Star. Snipers were a different matter, but that's why he had teammates, like the Sniper to his left. Not a lot for the pilot to do at the moment, but sometimes the best solution was simply to not directly take action.

tl;dr: Move G9->I8
Nor

Location: Crossed Swords Tavern
Interacting with:Magnus


"Like army life without the structure." Nor commented, still chewing the bread, now in a bit less of an aggressive manner. Being able to understand what the other party of a conversation is saying was a great boon in calming down. Aside from that, although he was quite young and stupid the kid seemed like he had his wits about him. Now for any supposed skill with the blade? That had to be seen later. Folks that talked a lot about wanting to fight rarely had anything to back up their stated desires.

"I'm just passin' through, really. Currently on me way eo Rosthead to take care of some other business. And since I'm travelin' why not bring me trade with me? I can make a decent amount of pocket change and get me affairs sorted at the same time. Two drow with one arrow if ye will. Did nae expect te come across such a sorry state of affairs in this town. Had heard it was a bit livelier than this when I was comin through from the North."


Location: Zoie's House



"If you say so," Mali said in response to Zoie's assertion that the goat that she'd just seen bowl over Relic was just an exuberant animal that could be paid no mind. She made a mental note to keep an eye out for the ungulate when she left the building. No assurance would assuage the persistent idea that Juniper would simply headbutt anyone that showed up who wasn't Zoie.

Walking into the house, Mali couldn't help but examine it with something of a critical eye. Much like the goat outside, Mali didn't expect a house like this to exist right outside Justice. Outside of Atlanta or Jacksonville, sure she could see this same building being around, but Justice? If this house was any indication of its owner's character, this Zoie was very odd indeed.

"Some water would be fine." Well, "some" water might have been an understatement. The heat of the summer had her feeling quite dehydrated. She felt like she could drink a whole quart of water right then and there, but that would be unsightly.
